I'm not sure how up ~250% in 14 days = tanking
That's a falsely-framed presentation of the facts and we both know it. A hard spike, a cool off, that's normal. But the drop in volume to nearly zero is not. Any one of the whales we saw jump in could say "meh, I feel like playing in AnyOtherCoin" and poof... The volume to support their departure doesn't exist. Not. Even. Close.but I do see the point re: open sourcing. I thought there was going to be some sort of 3rd party white hat audit first?
It's too new and unique a thing to throw out in Open Source so soon. I understand it in context of most clonecoins. There's is little to test as it's already been tested. But DRK is different. It risk being stolen by some other coin before it can establish itself. The fact that it hasn't been copied already is proof that the shitcoindevs can't do it on their own. Why give them your own advantage?Volume before the spike on Cryptsy was often around 40btc a day. Right now it's about 110 but I'm not sure how much of that related to Evan's post about RC3 and open source.
I understand what you're saying about the drop off though and you may be right about it being close to dropping off in value, but I also think that there a few scattered posts of people who come across Darkcoin and genuinely believe in it (not just proclaiming that it is going to the moon). I think they (like me) experienced the "satori" moment when they realised the genuine gap in the market that this coin can fill.
